He was directed 10y his father not TO go
over two miles, but being unable 10 reach
the valve cord, he got caught in n heavy
snow-storm, and was driven forty miles in

no means of communication, he was not

A Case for the doctors.

Jacob Hulshizer, a brakeman on the New
Jersey Central railroad, while coupling cars
at Easton, Pa, was caught between the
bumpers. When released he was uncon-
scious, and his body began swelling so rap
idly that his shirt band had to be cut to pre-
vent him from choking. The swelling con-
tinued until his body completely filed his
clothing, bursting his shirt and trousers in
several places. His heaa was soon swoolen to
twice its natural size and blood poured in
streams from his mouth, ears and moss. A
doctor who was called said the swelling was
caused by the bursting of blood ves!sls in
Hulshizer's lungs, which forced air into all
the tissues Of bis body. The skin has the ap-
p,earance Of q blown up bladder, and II pressed

he had never been able to keep q clerk
